WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of
wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the
type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her
healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS
Wheelchair users should NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while in
wheelchairs. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved
any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving
vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare's position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into
appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints
made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any
wheelchair transportation systems.
The drive behavior initially experienced by the user may be different from other
chairs previously used. This Power Wheelchair has Invacare's SureStep technology,
a feature that provides the chair with optimum traction and stability when driving
forward over transitions and thresholds of up to 3-inches. The following warnings
apply specifically to the SureStep Feature.
• Do not use on inclines greater than 9°.
• Do not use on inclines with wet, slippery, icy or oily surfaces. This may include
certain painted or otherwise treated wood surfaces.
• Do not traverse down ramps at high speed. Doing so will reduce traction and
increase stopping distance.
• The end user's weight can materially affect traction on sloped surfaces. Great
care should be taken when traversing such slopes.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice use of this product
on various sloping surfaces in the presence of a qualified healthcare provider
BEFORE attempting active use of this wheelchair. Other general warnings listed
within this document also apply.
